Medical Alert ID

Hello!

Im not sure if anyone has started a topic on this yet, and I’m new here, but I was wondering what everyone’s views on the Medical Alert ID was? Some say we should absolutely have it, others say no.

What do you all think?

I have a tag on my keychain with the doctors information as well as a “Nomination” type bracelet with the appropriate medical ID links on it.

No BLIND NG tube, NO NSAIDS.

Oops! I tried to paste a photo but it didn't work!!

Was it similar to the one from Amazon Prime? $16.99 sounded like a reasonable? price to me.

No, I got it from Lauren's Hope. They have a huge selection and custom engraving. Pricey, but nice!

Oooh that's nice. They have them in Etsy too.
Ladylike, beautiful but still carries the message. Pricey but I do LIKE IT. Going to talk to Dr Needleman Tuesday about expected duration of PICC in my arm, if it is longer than years end, I'm ordering that on there also.

But at very least,i should qualify on basis of RnY by itself, yeah?
Here's mine from Lauren's Hope.20181214_164029.thumb.jpeg.eae4d96645e6bf9116fd813a99d2a6ed.jpeg20181214_164025.thumb.jpeg.a1674d441c00fba96264f14fb7da92cd.jpeg
Oooh that's pretty too!! Gosh medical ID bracelets have become very stylish.

I had bypass and they just gave me a card for my wallet that says no ng tube.
